You don’t need me to tell you again to get over to www.harrogate-festival.org.uk/crime to get your tickets to see some of the biggest and best names in crime fiction on stage and at the bar, do you?

Well, just on the off-chance that you cannot make it along next week, and if you’re in the Nottingham area on Thursday, you do have the chance of seeing two of the heavy hitters from the crime fiction world ahead of their festival appearances.

Tess Gerritsen (The Silent Girl) and S.J.Watson (Before I Go to Sleep) will both be appearing in discussion about their books at Waterstones, 1-5 Bridlesmith Gate, Nottingham at 7pm and you can get tickets £5/£3 from Waterstones on Tel: 0843 290 8525.
